man: document `nmcli device connect` behaviour
Already since 1.0.0 release and commit "3784678177 cli: create a connection
if none exist in 'nmcli dev connect' (rh #1113941)", device-connect can
also create a profile.
That is useful, in particular as opposed to
$ nmcli connection up ifname "$DEVICE"
which wouldn't create a profile (ever).
Document it.
